CtTodd and I had a great day detecting. We went back to a field that we had detected at last fall with good results. Today we walked away with another great handful of finds . We both found many buttons dating from the late 1700 to early 1800s . Todd found a nice buckle and a draped bust large...

Find of the day. A general army service button Tice gen215a30 from 1840s to 1865. I literally climbed up a cliff to get to the site and that was after shimmying across a log over a frigid creek.... I had detected here years ago. probably before some of our younger members were born. At the time...

I went back to where I have been detecting off and on for a couple of years. Unfortunately the area is not cut regularly like the other fields that surround it so it has been tough to be thorough. This morning I was out there bright and early and discovered a nice 1844 Large Cent, 1910 wheat, a...

Todd and I had a very productive hunt this afternoon. Several weeks ago I had sent Todd a lead on a place that my research lead me to believe showed some promise. Yesterday he checked in with a very nice landowner and got us permission. It is a field now, but at least 164 years ago it was a...

Once again research helped turn a nondescript field into a place to dig treasure in the form of early American and British coinage . I'm very fortunate to know some great detectorists that also have a lot of connections with land owners for one reason or another, and are kind enough to sometimes...

My article about detecting with CTTodd made it into Western and Eastern Treasures magazine

Buckles Xs 4 and buttons Xs more and one lone 1831 large cent The leaves are changing nice here and so it was a beautiful day to be out in the woods. I went back to the site that I recovered King George's, Draped busts and a batwing buckle or two about a month ago and was pleasantly surprised to...

I found another Connecticut Copper in the same place I had located the four Connecticut Copper spill in late April of last year. Somehow, I missed this one on my return visits and crisscrossing the area in what I thought was a thorough manner. The thing I was doing different this time was using...

It was a long but fun morning detecting. Thankfully I found some nice early coppers including KG's and an Irish KG III, I also found a thimble, button and part of a buckle. Definitely one of the nicest days so far this season to be out.... I knew it was going to be hard to top the eight coppers...

And then they surrounded us.... video: http://youtu.be/j87ZHYlaQoY CTTodd and I didn't end up finding what we were looking for in the field but we did make a lot of new friends. They were sniffing my headphones as I was walking and trying to help me pinpoint the few targets I dug up.. Our...

Hello Folks, I live in the Dutchess County area of The Hudson River Valley and I first started detecting in 1984. I enjoy digging older coins and relics only. I have very little interest in finding any modern coinage, rings, etc. I feel most at home roaming the woods, fields, and mountains...
